The Sims 3 Recategorizer

This mod is outdated, an up-tp-date version can be obtained from Simlogical.

Have you wondered: why are Fountains under the Miscellaneous Décor category instead of Miscellaneous Plumbing? Or why are three dining chairs under Miscellaneous Comfort instead of Dining Chairs? For the picky ones, Sims MX has a fix!

This mod will recategorize base game, World Adventures, Ambitions, High-End Loft Stuff and Store items into proper categories. Below is a summary.

What It Does?:

Rearranges the Catalog

• Fountains were moved to the Miscellaneous Plumbing sorting category.
• Office chairs were moved to the Dining Chairs sorting category.
• Partitions were removed from the Living Room Sort and added them to the Accents sub-sort in the Bathroom Room Sort.
• Pedestal Sinks were removed from the Kitchen Room Sort.
• Table and Floor Lamps were removed from the Kitchen Room Sort.
• Candles and Torches were removed from Nursery Room Sort (won't somebody please think of the children?!).
• Double Beds were removed from the the Nursery Room Sort.
• Kids-related bookcases, dressers, surfaces, chairs, and beds were moved to the Furniture sorting category.
• Kids-related paintings, shelves, and sculptures were moved to the Miscellaneous Kids sorting category.

• Several Store items were properly categorized, for example: Stäncké wall clock is no longer in the Fences category.
• Store Sculptures and Statues were moved to the new Sculptures sorting category.
• Bars, Bubble Bars, and Professional Bars were removed from the Miscellaneous Surfaces sorting category.
• Buffet Tables were removed from the Dining Tables sorting category.
